Postcard to the veteran with your own hands

Victory Day on May 9 is an important and significant holiday for all citizens of our country, as almost every family keeps the memory of their ancestors who contributed to the great victory over the fascist invaders. The memory of this event and reverence for those who fearlessly fought for the future of their people, should be vaccinated from a young age. The current children are the last generation, who found the veterans alive and it is very important that they value these people. In order for children to feel the solemnity of this moment, the complex of events timed to May 9 should include the manufacture of crafts by May 9 and postcards for veterans with their own hands.

Unconditional plus of such occupations is that besides the development of creative abilities, children are taught respect for the history of their country, patriotism and respect for elders. A postcard and hand-crafted article as a gift to the veteran with his own hands, donated by the child, will once again remind you that the feat is not forgotten.

We bring to your attention some simple master classes with detailed description of the production of greeting cards to veterans.

How to make a volumetric card to a veteran?

To make a postcard we will need:

• colored napkins of red or pink color;
• yellow and green paper;
• a sheet of white cardboard;
• clerical glue;
• pencil;
• scissors.

Progress

1. White sheet of cardboard bends in half to get the basis for a postcard.
2. We use only the upper, colored layer of the napkin, cut it into 4 identical parts.
3. Double fold a piece of napkin in half.
4. Double fold the resulting square on the corner.
5. Cut a sharp edge in a semicircle and make some transverse incisions along the edge.
6. We unfold the flower. We do 3 more of the same and glue each other - we get a carnation.
7. From the cut tail, we also cut the straight edge and do the transverse incisions, then the napkin should be unfolded, fluffed and folded again along the fold lines. We glue the resulting buds.
8. From the yellow paper we cut out the number 9 and the letters M, A, and H. From the green - the stems for the carnation.
9. A postcard to the veteran is ready by his own hands.
